ASTLEY Youth Band celebrates its 10th Anniversary on Saturday, January 3 with a big reunion party featuring a disco and buffet at the Formby Hall in Atherton.

During those 10 years more than 250 young brass players have passed through and Musical Director Helen Minshall believes the current players form the most accomplished and polished young band yet.

Tickets are £4 each, including a buffet supper, and can be purchased by former band members, parents, relatives and friends -- anyone who has had anything to do with the band in the last 10 years. Details from 01942 875626.
